Play Video: Iraq: Progress on the rise despite challenges - Security Council Briefing | United Nations

The Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert today (16 May) told the Security Council that “we are, so to speak, witnessing an Iraq on the rise,”and said that despite challenges, “it is high time to judge the country on progress made, and to turn the page on the darker images of Iraq’s past.” Hennis-Plasschaert said those challenges include “corruption, factionalism, impunity, undue interference in state functions and armed actors operating outside state control” adding that “while the Government is tackling these scourges, they still represent major hurdles to be overcome.” She said, “feelings of marginalization and exclusion, which are spreading in and among certain components,” if left unaddressed, “risk fanning the flames of intra- and inter-community tension.” Hennis-Plasschaert noted that this summer “will mark a sombre anniversary: 10 years since Da’esh committed a genocide against the Yazidi people.” She expressed hope “that the upcoming 10th anniversary will not be wasted but rather used - by all authorities, actors and stakeholders - to unite and step up to the plate with the sole aim of serving the people of Sinjar.” The Head of UNAMI told the Council that “dealing with both the legacy of the past and the many challenges of the present will take time,” and warned that “nothing is irreversible.” Yet, she said, “while the country has teetered on the edge, several times, it has found a way to step back from the brink, to continue its journey forward.” For his part, Iraqi Ambassador Abbas Kadhom Obaid Al-Fatlawi said, “the government of Iraq requests that UNAMI’s work be concluded by December 31 2025. And its work until that time must focus on completing its work and the files of economic reform, service delivery, sustainable development, climate change, and other developmental matters. It must work on completing its liquidation and achieving a responsible and full drawdown by 2025.” UNAMI was established by Security Council resolution 1500 in 2003 at the request of the Government of Iraq, revised under resolution 1770 in 2007 and has since been extended on an annual basis. The current mandate of UNAMI encompasses a number of key areas, including the provision of advice, support and assistance to the Government and the people of Iraq on advancing inclusive political dialogue and national and community-level reconciliation; electoral support; as well as facilitating regional dialogue and cooperation; promoting accountability and the protection of human rights and judicial and legal reform; gender mainstreaming; and promoting coordination and facilitating, in coordination with the Government of Iraq, delivery in the humanitarian and development areas. Furthermore, under Security Council resolution 2107 of 2013, UNAMI is mandated to promote, support and facilitate efforts of the Government of Iraq regarding the repatriation or return of all Kuwaiti and third-country nationals, or their remains, and the return of Kuwaiti property, including the national archives.

Plastic not fantastic - Episode 1 - UN Weekly On the first episode of UN Weekly, Conor Lennon and Myra Lopes focus on the effect of the climate crisis on small island developing States (SIDS), which are struggling to cope with hurricanes, flooding and wildfires. Island nations are also drowning in plastic, which is washing up on beaches, clogging rivers and, for the most part, is not recyclable and takes hundreds of years to break down. The team are joined by Deandre Williamson from Bahamas Broadcasting, and May Yaacoub from the UN office for SIDS and least developed countries, to look at global UN-led efforts to get to grips with the problem, and how a once-in-a-decade event in Antigua can help them to fight back the plastic tide.

Play Video: Iran’s President and Foreign Minister feared dead in helicopter crash | BBC News

A huge search operation is underway in Iran after a helicopter carrying the country’s President Ebrahim Raisi crashed in the mountainous north-west of the country in heavy fog. Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian was also on the aircraft. The men had been visiting Iran’s remote mountain border region with Azerbaijan to inaugurate a new dam project. Two other helicopters in the convoy made the journey safely. Rescue teams are attempting to locate the helicopter but are being hampered by very poor weather. Iran’s army is reported to have ordered that all resources needed be sent to the search area. The Red Crescent is helping with the search operation. Drones and rescue dogs are being used in the attempt to locate the helicopter. Countries in the region including Turkey have offered assistance with the search. Mass prayers are being said in mosques in Iran. Iran’s state-run television first announced news of what they described as a “hard-landing”. The country’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei delivered a message of calm, saying he hoped that God would return the President to the people. He told Iranians that there would be no disruption to the running of the country. President Raisi has been a key and controversial figure in Iran for many decades, regarded as a hardliner within the Islamic Republic’s leadership. The accident comes at a time of high tension in the Middle East, with the war in Gaza and fears that the conflict could widen. Israel and the United States have accused Iran of backing militant groups including Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen. Recently Iran fired hundreds of missiles at Israel. An airstrike on a military base in Iran was widely seen as Israel's response to that attack. Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian is a well-known figure on the international stage, where he has been involved in talks and negotiations about Iran's nuclear programme.
